ninety others have been sentenced to fine OF

The report goes on to say that several pub

varying from ego to e700 from persons who
had stolen books from them, but who were
impeiled by either remorse or fear to make
restitution. The publishers of illustrated

greatest sufferers. Upwards of ten thousand
volumes have been seized and are now col

gypsies, the kettle stick has its place among
the legends and lore of the race. It is not
only an impsratively needed factor in every
day life, but Ii is far more. Indeed this one
black piece of iron possesses almost the same
cherished value as the ingle hook. It is the
typifed hearthside of the race. 1t often be-
comes the object of the tinkers highest eff
forts. "Job, the tinker over there by his
little portable forge; is now hammering away
upon one upon which he has been at work
for months at odd hours, and its knobs, di-
minutive grifins and foriture, are wonder
full indeed. I once saw one wrought by
the gypsy Faa tribe, of Yetholm, England,
an heirloom in constant use, which no
money could buy. The female head of the
gypsy household is always its keeper, and
the anxiety about proper protection of this
one bit of old iron, from which the pots
and kettles hang and sizzle above the
CHEEKY fires, sometimes amounts to positive
lunacy. The reason for this I discovered
to be that all sorts of superstitions cling
to its continued possession. It is kind
of amulet to the gypsy home as entire
ty. Its loss especially through any manner
of carelessness is fully believed to be the
precursor of all sorts of i'll luck. But they
have no use for this priced utensil unless it
comes into their possession through the gro
tesque avenue of precedent and race buga-
boos.
I once found little band of newly ar
rived German gypsies on the banks of the
romantic Wissahickon in state of pitiable
poverty. felt I was doing them great
turn in having made them handsome ket-
tle-stiek in Philadelphia at my own expense.
They accepted it with apparent gratitude
and delight, but afterward learned that I
was not well out of camp ere they had sold
my fine gift for old iron. It mad come from
a Gorgio, non-gypsy. However kindly
meant, it could never possess gypsy charac-
ter. The truth is they would have eaten

AMATEUR n1IcronconX.

And now society has another fashionable
fad. 1t is the microscope. AS a pastime
for leisure hours this instrument has come
to-day is plentifully mingled with illusions
to achromatic lenses, single and double pow-
ers, mounts, covers, specimens and the like.
For a comparatively small sum one can now
provide ones self with really good instru-
ment. For about twenty dollars as good a
single power glass can be got as one would
wish to have, while for sixty dollars fine
double power instrument can be got mounted
in brass, with lenses, slide rest for speci-
men slides and mirror for concentrating the
light and rejecting it upon the specimen
slide under examination.
Amateur microscopic work requires many
articles necessary to the proper mounting of
specimens and their satisfactory examina-
ton. These are mounts, pieces of common
window glass tive inches long by an inch in
width; 'feovers," p" small round pieces of very
thin glass with which to cover specimen; a
fine, thin razor, small pincers, delicate scis-
sors, three or four strong needles mounted in
handles and few bottles in which to keep
the necessary chemicals. A fair elaborate
ry" for an amateur microscopist will include
chloroform, oil of cloves, alcohol, eosin and
hematoxylon. The cost of all these things
is very little, and with them all kinds of
specimens can be prepared. Specimens such
as fy's wing, dust from butterfy's or
moths wing, blood flowers, hair and the like,
which would be spoiled by contact with wa
ter, are prepared by what is known as the
'tdry mount" For this work ring of bal
sam is made in the center of the glass slide
and the specimen placed within it. Then
the cover glass is put over the specimen and
the glass subjected to a gentle heat. Pres
sure causes the balsam to melt, the two
glasses adhere, and when the balsam cools
the specimen is imprisoned in the ring.
To bring out the different parts of con-
struction and the composition certain speci-
mems have to be dyed For this purpose
eosin, light red dye, cermine, deep red
dye, and hematoxylon, purple dye, are
used. Such specimens are prepared after
the manner followed in s'wet" mounting.

VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
As political activity increases it will be
more and more amusing and instructive to

ship" political assessments, etc.
The ball is rolling in Iowa, where the
Democrats are making more stir than usual,
being encouraged by the very mixed political
situation there. Chairman Hunter of the
Democratic State committee has sent circu-
lar to the federal oficeholders of the State,
in which, after pointing out that the Office
holder as an intelligent Democrat must real

tee in its work, Mr.. Hunter says: GAS you
are receiving some OF the fruits Of our vic
tory in 1884, 1 take the liberty to call on
you for a voluntary contribution. Such a
contribution at this time will be acceptable
and will be instrumental in large degree in
aiding us in paying obligations already con-
traeted and carrying on campaign work that
we have laid OUT voluntary contribu-
ticn" is good. And lest the oficeholder
might be afraid of becoming an offensive
partisan Mr.. Hunter further remarks:
"While you hold federal Office it is not ex-
pected that you will engage in politics in an
offensive way or to the neglect of your Off
cial duties, but, in the language of President
Cleveland: Individual interest and activity
in political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Office holders are neither disfran-
chised nor forbidden the exercise of political
privileges. Having thus instructed the
ofdceholder as TO his duty and privilege,
Chairman Hunter delicately and yet firmly
tells him how much he ought to voluntarily
contribute, as follows: The question will
arise, how much should be contri-
buted. Presidential postmasters are general
ly contributing from $25 to $50. Fourth
class postmasters from So to $25, railroad
postal clerks $40 to $15, members of pension
examining boards $40 to SIS, and other fed
eral of6ceholders in proportion to the amount
of salary received as compared with the Off
cials named above.

A Fish yarn of Fifty Years Ago.

NAS ]
''It was about fifty years ago." said Dr.
J. NJ. Kendall, of Bowdoinham, the other
day. 'I was youngster and playing on the
bank of the Kennebec. I never shall forget
it in my life how neat I saw crane get 8
pickerel dinner. They were driving logs
down stream. I watched crane acting sort
of funny standing perched on one of the logs
near the shore. I made up my mind to see
what it was about, and hid in a clump OF
bushes. The crane had bug in his bill,
and he kept dropping it into the current
till it foated past him, and then grabbed
it again and repeated the same performance.
I couldn't think what he was trying to do.
He looked to me as if he was going to sleep.
The old fellow kept the bug floating in front
of the log for half hour, when, all of sudden,
big pickersl came up to the surface and
made a dive for the bait. The pickerel was
down the cranes throat in less than a second
and Mr.. Crane tapped hiswings and few away.
He took the bug in his bill, though. They
look sleepy enough, but they know more than
good many people-how to get their bread
and butter"

only look on enviously, while their Western

arise from discussion of mutual interests.
